Vintage Westclox mechanical watch movement white dial 17 jewels parts

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot is for a Westclox mechanical watch movement, visible without its case or strap. The round, white dial features raised gold Arabic numerals, typical of vintage style. "WESTCLOX" and "17 JEWELS" are clearly legible in the center of the dial, indicating a 17-jewel mechanism, a sign of robustness in traditional watchmaking.

The visible hands (hour and minute hands) are gold-colored and have a patinated appearance. The second hand appears to be missing or not visible in the photo. The dial shows significant wear, with traces of dirt and light scratches on the surface, characteristic of an old item intended for restoration or for spare parts.

The movement is presented alone, without its case, revealing the metal plate and the winding stem on the right side. The whole testifies to traditional mechanical manufacturing, suitable for a vintage wristwatch, probably mid to late 20th century, consistent with the style and brand of Westclox.

The dial offers a classic layout with raised gold indexes and a clean design, without excessive decoration. The contrast between the gold elements and the white background of the dial accentuates the retro character of the piece. The outline of the movement shows traces of oxidation or aging, visible on the exposed metal.

This movement is offered as seen in the photo, ideal for repair, restoration, or as a source of watch parts for vintage Westclox mechanical watches.

Condition

Used item sold as is, without guarantee of functionality. Traces of wear, dirt, and oxidation visible on the dial and plate. Item intended for repair, restoration, or component recovery.

Did you know? The Westclox brand, founded in the United States in the late 19th century, became known for the robustness and affordability of its mechanical watches and alarm clocks. "17 jewels" movements were commonly used in quality watches to reduce wear on moving parts through the use of synthetic rubies.
